If you are actually in /tmp (I take it you mean by 'cd /tmp') then % ls -l should not report a tmp directory unless you have another tmp as a subdirectory of /tmp i.e. /tmp/tmp If you are actually in the root directory and /tmp is a truly symbolic link to /var/tmp then 'ls -l' should report something like: l????????? ? root wheel ??
